Renaming general discussion to something more interesting

Sparked by a post from Rhiannon

Yeah, and there's enough interesting stuff to keep pulling me back in. It's like being in a slightly odd pub; if I don't fancy talking to the bore at the bar, I won't. There's plenty of good company apart from them.

A slightly odd pub? Wonder what we could call it  ;)

The " house of the rising sun" ?

I like " Electric Psychedelic Pussycat Swingers Club" — Austin Powers  ;)

Perhaps we ought to call the general discussion section something more exciting.

Like a pub name.

The Rabbit and Waffle for example  ;D

The "general discussion" is a bit boring, whatcha think?

I don't think it is boring, and is the right description for this particular board, imo.

Sorry Rose but I too think ''General Discussion'' fits well.
Let us profit by what every day and hour teaches us

What about "All Gas and Gaiters"?

And when googling this I  have found out that this phrase was coined by Charles Dickens in Nicholas Nickleby - a fact that had somehow passed me by - oh happy serendipity.
Before we work on Artificial Intelligence shouldn't we address the problem of natural stupidity.
